Okay, I just need to vent a little. I REALLY dislike working on Toyota's. I guess I'm spoiled by working on Honda's. Some of you guys will probably want to shoot me for saying that, but anyone who's really worked a lot on both cars knows that Honda's are really, really well designed. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Celica, but after working on it's axles, bumper, and timing belt I realized how awesomely Honda has designed their motors so that nearly everythings really accessable. I think Toyota needs to take some lessons on engine engineering... but Honda still needs to take some lessons on exterior design.

the angle that the S engines sit at could cause some acess problems, especially things between the engine and firewall.
besides that hitch, i'd say that toyotas are pretty easy and straight forward to work on. work on GM's, Fords, and Chryslers, then say that your car is hard to work with! -------------------- |
